“Super League will go on,” Atletico Madrid president predicts that the Real Madrid-Barcelona led breakaway league is ‘inevitable’

Enrique Cerezo, President of Atletico Madrid made remarks on Super League to El Chiringuito on Wednesday. The Spanish court has determined that UEFA and FIFA have no power to interfere, despite the fact that they have opted to reject the European Super League as a legitimate rival and have even threatened to punish individuals involved in the project.

Enrique Cerezo has maintained Atlético Madrid’s stance that the club is with the major clubs that support Florentino Pérez’s Super League since Atlético Madrid is always with the victorious teams, “Nobody can put obstacles to a new competition. The Super League will go on. Here or in a few years it will come out.” The original initiative was abandoned by nine of the twelve clubs, and although the new CEO Bernd Reichart has suggested a revised project, the matter has now reached a continental level, where the European Union’s highest court in Luxembourg will have to make a final determination.

In a statement, A22 Sports Management, the business founded to examine the prospect of forming a ‘Super League’, said that it will continue to meet with stakeholders “free from threats and other obstructive acts made by UEFA and other bodies”. However, the European Super League’s existence appears to be dependent on the ultimate verdict of the European Court of Justice.

Matt Doherty describes Tottenham’s shocking contract termination at Atletico Madrid’s unveiling

Matt Doherty characterised his January transfer to Atletico Madrid as a “no-brainer” following a stunning free transfer from Tottenham Hotspurs. Doherty swapped north London for the Wanda Metropolitano in one of the more unusual deadline day moves, which began as a loan move and subsequently saw Spurs terminate the player’s contract to expedite the transfer.

“But opportunities come that are unexpected at times, and this was an opportunity I saw that if I made the move I could better myself as a person exploring different cultures and different football. Like I said before, once the opportunity came it was impossible for me to give it up,” Doherty stated. Spurs were unable to send Doherty out for the remainder of the season as planned due to a FIFA-imposed maximum of eight foreign loans. As a result, Doherty’s contract was amicably ended before he signed a short-term deal in Spain.

The 31-year-old struggled for consistent game time under Antonio Conte and was even on the receiving end of some harsh criticism from the Italian. For Atletico, they will hope Doherty’s acquisition can help fire them up the table, as Diego Simeone’s side currently sit 13 points off leaders Barca in fourth. His first appearance might come as early as Sunday when Atletico Madrid hosts Getafe at the Wanda Metropolitano.
